Carne Asada burrito is delicious. Probably the best one Ive had in San Diego. Beef is super tender, and the smoky grilled takes it to the next level. Worth a try if you happen to have an appointment is Clairemont DMV.

Me and my girlfriends go-to for late nights when we are both too tired to cook. So fast. Great food, lots of options. Big portions. Love the red sauce!

i got a veggie burrito with potatoes, it was actually really good, but unfortunately the burrito fell apart within a few minutes either from being overstuffed or having too much wet ingredients inside. ill come back and try it again though maybe it was just rolled poorly this time

Vallarta Express is off-the-charts good. As someone visiting from San Francisco, I was blown away by the veggie burrito I got here. It was warm, the ingredients were fresh and it had the perfect balance of sauces inside — it all came together beautifully. The star of the show for me still wasn’t the burrito; it was the salsas. The two salsas they have (orange/red and green) were my absolute favorite. The red one was numbingly spicy, and the green one was more neutralizing and fresh. 10/10 would revisit.

One of my favorite taco places in SD. They’re very generous with the hot sauces. I love the green. Their fries are truly loaded, they’re so heavy in the bag! You wouldn’t think to order a salad through a Mexican drive through, but I really love their Mexican Caesar. The creamy Pepita dressing is amazing. I some times order it without the salad to put on my tacos. All portions are very generous and they’re speedy.

Visiting San Diego area, and the rental car representative suggested Vallarta Express. Visited this location, and it was satisfying. I ordered an al pastor (didn't have, so they gave me adobada) burrito 🌯. The meat tasted real fresh, and the pieces of meat had chargrilled edges which was great. Note: burritos do not come with rice or beans. Being from SF, we're accustomed to that standard. I didn't get my burrito with rice and beans, and I didn't mind not having it. Next time, I'll try it with rice and beans. The burrito was big, filled with protein, and guacamole. Great experience. Next time, I'll get a surf and turf California (fries 🍟 inside) burrito. They serve the burritos with green sauce and their special sauce.

OMG!!! The fish Tacos are more than worth their price here. Use to go to a spot in National City and every spot around that area charged me $5 or more for each fish taco. So would only go on Taco tuesday when they did 50% off lol. But man Vallarta not only charges $4.75 for each taco. They put two corn totillas per fish taco. And when you see how stuffed the one fish taco is. You can take one of the Tortillas.....and MAKE ANOTHER TACO!!! Bro. This spot is open 24/7 has competitive price and they serve you fair sizes. So far I need to try everything else so i. sorry if im only excited about the fish tacos for the two times ive been there. Will keep you guys posted and make sure to put better pics up next time with my real camera.

Some of the best mahi tacos I've had. Really clean flavor. And they were huge! She handed me the bag and I was shocked how much it weighed. I ordered two tacos and this could have easily been 4-5. I'll definitely be back.
